Hello Ian,
Not sure I understand your exact problem, but you can reset admin password
like this :
sudo -u www-data python -c "from gluon.main import save_password;
save_password('123456',443)"
Where 123456 is you pass phrase.
443 is the port for which the password apply
This will create parameters_443.py file that you drop/replace in the
web2py/ folder and then restart web2py instance and the new generated
password should work.
